Tory Lanez - Friday the 13th
Artist: Tory Lanez
Producer: Tory Lanez and Tokyo Monster
Album: Sincerely, Tory
Label: Time is Money Ent.
When you’re as young, fresh and fly as Tory Lanez, every day is your lucky day, even Friday [the] 13th. Fresh off making an explosive impact in the Booth with his first feature, the hater-blocking Remembrance Day, the T-Dot emcee/singer returns to showcase his swagger anew on the latest leak off his forthcoming mixtape. As on the aforementioned cut, Lanez and Tokyo Monster collaborate on the production tip, bringing a haunting Chipmunked/reversed sample to a simmer over a headnodic, hi-hat driven percussion rhythm. On the lyrical, Tory attacks the mic with suave self-confidence, talking up his finances and his sexual prowess in flows alternately chill and energetic: “Money as long as a flatline n*gga, now I’m in a b*tch back like ‘That my n*gga.’” To top it all off, he showcases his versatility with a disarmingly smooth chorus. Time to weigh in: did Lanez kill this one, Jason Voorhees style? If you’re leaning toward the affirmative, then don’t touch that dial. While his latest street album, Sincerely, Tory, has yet to receive a solid drop date, we in The DJBooth will keep you supplied with all the latest news and tunes.

I am not saying Tory is going to make it big like Drake or Kendrick Lamar, but I hear influences from both artists in his vocals, his cadence and his on mic confidence (know around these parts as "swagger"). That is certainly a good place to start. Plus, extra credit for being involved in the production end of the record, too.

He just seems like he hasn't found his own style yet. I agree with Z that when I first heard this I heard influences of Kendrick & Drake on it. He has bars though, and kuddos on co-producing this track.

This has a pretty cool groove to it. Tory has been pretty consistent as well, and that's really important for a new artist. Production is tight and Tory has a versatile flow. Definitely feelin the sound.

Tory is on my top ten list of emcees to watch for this year. This was a great track, I only wish the shit talking on the end could of have been excluded.

Tory is one of the nicest out there... The way he incorporates heavy rap skills and his vocals is impeccable, not many rap artists can compete with this kind of versatility and none of them have the flow he does. I'm hoping he makes it big because more people deserve to know and hear this kind of music. He's simply #Swavey
